3D printing company Micronics announced the launch of its new Micron desktop selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printer.
The company stated that Micron is priced at $2999 and aims to bring industrial grade 3D printing capabilities to desktops for professionals and hobbyists. One of the main features of Micron is its ability to print complex objects without the need for supporting structures. This is achieved through a high-power laser, which fuses the powder plastic layer together. The surrounding unmelted powder serves as a natural support for the printed object, allowing for the creation of complex shapes with high precision.

Design Freedom and Durable Materials
According to the company, the printer focuses on producing high-quality and durable parts. It utilizes high-performance polymers such as nylon, and according to reports, the parts are very sturdy, chemically resistant, and wear-resistant. In addition, the construction room allows users to maximize efficiency by stacking hundreds of parts for production operations.

Security and user friendliness are key aspects of Micron's design. This printer includes MicroSlicer, a free custom software program designed specifically for Micron. This software has a new physics based packing algorithm that can optimize the placement of parts in the construction chamber. The printer itself has a fully enclosed powder processing system that enables cleaning operations and is equipped with safety features, including a 2-level carbon HEPA filter and a removable smoke exhaust.

Another noteworthy aspect of Micron is that it is entirely manufactured and supported in the United States. This ensures high quality and reliability for users. To further protect user privacy, both the printer and slicer are running completely offline.
